TwinStar Server Redundancy - TS2000/TS3000

Award-winning solution providing rapid failover for entire Asterisk-based PBX

The TwinStar configuration (P/N TS2000 or TS3000) is a bundled product, comprised of two module-less servers, based on the Xorcom XE series IP-PBX, that have been optimized for use as a failover system.

Sample TwinStar Redundant Server Configuration

Two identical Xorcom XE series servers, both connected via USB 2.0 to an Astribank. The Astribank firmware continually replicates the server data in real time, performs failure checks, and switches all telephony control to the backup server, if necessary.

TwinStar System Description

TwinStar provides full redundancy for a complete PBX system, including telephony interfaces. A sophisticated automatic replication and detection mechanism located in the Astribank detects server failure and switches all telephony to the backup server, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum. The firmware-based switching mechanism is not network-dependent.

How to Determine the Right TwinStar Redundant Server Configuration for Your Implementation

The servers used in the TwinStar configuration are either the XE2000 or the XE3000. The former meets the requirements of smaller installations, supporting up to 200 users and 45 concurrent calls. The latter is more robust, supporting up to 1000 users and 480 concurrent calls. To complete the configuration, select the relevant Astribank model(s) based on the telephony interface requirement (the number of analog and digital ports and trunks to be supported). The easiest way to determine the configuration is by using the PBX Configuration Wizard.

Important Note

Xorcom's Complete Concierge (integrated PBX + PMS interface for hospitality) does not support a TwinStar configuration.
